As much as I like Jenn & Ben as individuals in how they present themselves, their separation has truly allowed me to reflect that social media is 100% a career and a job to do and nothing more. This is the case for every other social media influencer as well. Everything is curated and crafted for the audience to consume. There is a lack of genuine action and thoughtfulness to do it solely for each other ("we need to film and get paid so let's film a date" versus "lets just have a date for ourselves"). It is setting up cameras, and then going back to walk in front of them to add the effects that it's live. For them it is a job, it is not real and it does not truly represent their authentic relationship or way of life. Obviously no one films the bad, so it is acting and fiction. I am not saying they did not love each other and weren't authentic (of course they were), but what they displayed on social media is a façade and an idealism of what they believe looks great for their audience to consume. Ben posted this 8 months ago, and rumors started to emerge that they separated 6 months ago; two months later from this "PERFECT" date video. They had to appear perfect to get paid. It is deeply disingenuous and we should not forget that and never compare ourselves to social media influencers.
Ha! I guess I'm gullible or naive. I did buy into this relationship as genuine. They seem so happy. One thing I always did think about Ben was that he based his whole life on Jenn's career. I've aways wanted to tell him "do something on your own and not tied to Jenn" because if they do split up, he will have nothing. He will have been a videographer for Jenn and that is about it. I suppose this channel is Ben's deal but perhaps not the big income generator as Jenn's channel. There was this quote I heard in another video which was Jenn saying how much Ben sacrificed. This is true. He did sacrifice a lot. He left England to live in the USA, he left his role as a bandmember. And he never really carved out his own career in the USA. I felt he would eventually grow resentful. Perhaps that is what did them in - the imbalance of it all. Also, I heard Jenn in another video say "I bought a house." not "we." And I think this was already after they were married. So that said something about their relationship too.
Hey Ben. Come back. We wanna know how are you, how is life going. But if you don't want to, be happy, be a good father. You seem like a nice guy. Have a good life.
Appreciate you guys! I love Ben! I identify so much with your personality and being intuitive and naturally prone to empathetic tendencies. It's so refreshing seeing you too because I feel like you are setting a new meaning of positive masculinity in my life I had never quite seen before. Wishing you guys the best x
Thanks so much for these kind words, it really means alot. Yeah it's been an amazing journey learning about our internal world and it's given me so much gratitude in life. Keep exploring those intuitive moments because there's something pretty special in it! x
You are being thought of Ben, hope you are finding comfort in different ways to heal from the separation, and hope that UA-cam community is one of those safe elements for you. You've been a shining husband and father for us to witness, and just as much as you are as an individual being Ben Jolliffe
I always love to see the interactions between the two of you! Never have I ever seen such good storytellers and communicative skills, a match made in heaven 🖤 also, loving Jenn's cute little 'omg this is so good' reaction to the cake while Ben's still talking 😂 wearing her heart on her sleeve point proven strongly.
Absolutely love this one! I particularly love the moment when you playfully laughs at Ben's corny joke. It's exactly how I respond to my husband's cheesy jokes😆
I don't know if you have seen that one yet, but even as a non football lover Ted Lasso is THE BEST show I have seen in a while. I would love of it to go on forever. Makes my little heart so happy.
Dink and dank. Homo deus components much. Like industrialists want their money yesterday. Tm screen. Le sigh. Who's making those big daddy purchases. Like please dont its not serious is if your commentary commodity. R u a commodity. As Sam sanders on his podcast obsess better.
That really was the perfect date! Love the communication that you share and that you take the time to continually learn about each other. It's so important! I also have to comment about Succession. I was late to the party, too, and finished watching the series a couple weeks ago. It was great! Like you said, great writing and great acting! Can you imagine never driving or traveling by helicopter? Amazing what money can do. Anyway, glad you are enjoying it!

Word!
Things can change radically in 2 months. Doesn’t mean it’s necessarily not genuine. Social media obviously shows one side but life is complicated.
Thanks for saying this though because I needed to hear this. It is so uncanny to have a sweet video like this and then a breakup so soon after. Thanks
@@barron797 The most genuine relationships and interactions are the things a couple will do for each other when no one else is watching.
Hey Ben. Come back. We wanna know how are you, how is life going. But if you don't want to, be happy, be a good father. You seem like a nice guy. Have a good life.
A beautiful friendship & commitment as a couple!
Well
Sad now 😢
Hike, smoothie, lunch al fresco, and dessert with a good show - you just described mine and my husband’s perfect day as well!
This video needs to be an ad targeted to all the men out there! We need more Bens in this world!
Oh? Aged like milk.
definitely an aspiring couple u guys!! 🥰 (side note i NEED to know where Jenn’s pink top is from 😍😍 super cute!!)
Really enjoyed this video, as always 😊
Love you guys ❤

This was such good vibes! A perfect date and perfect way to spend the day indeed
Always love these videos, you inspire me ❤

Couple goals! ^.^ The love that you have for each other is just so magical! ✨

I loved the video! Thank you so much for sharing and taking us on a date with you. Your relationship is so inspiring!❤
I learn a lot from them, and I apply their “experience” to mine. God bless ❤️
Love you guys together!!❤❤
Hey Ben!
Come back! We all wish to see you as much as Jenn. You’ve been part of many ppl lives for a decade.
What a beautiful couple hope to have a marriage like yours one day! ❤️
Influencers aren’t even trying to be subtle anymore with this ‘my life is perfect’ facade. Every day we stray further from reality.
Yeah :( especially given that they are separating now
where is the trail? :D
A sweet video for the sweetest couple 🤍

Like please dont its not serious is if your commentary commodity.
R u a commodity.
As Sam sanders on his podcast obsess better.
Power couple
My faves 🥰
So cute! The shots are gorgeous as always!
The cake is so cute! 🎂✨
I just finished Succession! It's incredible! Loved the ending! Enjoy!

You guys are my couple inspiration🩷
Welp
I feel like I'm third-wheeling with you guys but in the best way. Thank you for the invite 😊. Love you both!❤
